EpcotServo's Updates #2.44- The Update Holiday Special

There's no word like hello for the Holidays! Welcome to another Update show, so let it snow!

STUDIOS

-Crowds large to even larger.

-Star Tours is still, still great.

-I kind of don't like how they replaced the holographic poster at the end of the Muppets hallway with an ad for The Muppets. The movie is great and worth advertising, but that's just crossing the line getting rid of an attraction element for an ad...

-All the lights were working at Spectacle of Lights.

-^See, "Lights not working" always gets more attention...When things work properly it's worth noting too.

-If I didn't know better I'd say that was some veiled form of vague commentary on society.

-But it really wasn't.

-Happy Holidays!

ENJOY!

EpcotServo's Updates #2.42- Like Love

Heya everyone and welcome to a long overdue WDW Update! Lots of fun was had, so let's start with the words.

ANIMAL KINGDOM

-Crowds were low to mild.

-Expedition Everest was running the proper 4-train profile and was running perfectly.

-Waterfall B was not working again, Steam was working fine though.

-Brand new Everest merch! Every Winter they get great new stuff in, and now they have some new very cool shirts, including a Himalayan Escapes T-Shirt.

-For all that's made over Everest's missing effects, Countdown has more missing longer that are much more important.

-The chasing Carnotaurus wasn't working so they just turned out all the lights. Either that or just a large section of show lighting was broken. It was kind of weird to have a whole long scene of ride just be complete darkness.

-The Jungle Trek is still pretty spectacular.

STUDIOS

-Crowds were extremely high. Packed, even.

-We just went in to ride Star Tours, so no pictures.

-Seriously, the park was jam-packed.

-STAR TOURS is still AMAZING.

-The Starspeeder 1000 figure-sized vehicle is at Studios! Traders had many of them and they were being seriously gawked over. A cast member at checkout shared a cool tidbit, since this was pretty much the first day they were out. The designer of them actually called in and asked how they were doing! They're already selling like hotcakes. Naturally, all Star Tours fans have been waiting for it for years!

-Did I mention the park was like super-packed?

EPCOT

-Epcot crowds seemed mild.

-Full moon out and great weather!

-It was really pretty as well.

-Fun things are fun!

OK, that's about all for words. Pictures now!

Enjoy!

EpcotServo's Updates #2.41- Fate/Stay Day

 Hello everyone and welcome to another Universal Update! Stuff to get too, so to stuff we get!

UNIVERSAL

-Weather was great, crowds were none!

-Re: Jaws, I'll say plenty with the pictures, but just have to say the skippers as always save the day. They were great and friendly, and even managed to work some great timely humor for being the day they found out it would close. After stressing that a shark hasn't been seen in these waters and that they have the grenade launcher, our skipper added "So nothing can go wrong today...nothing." And after the line about not telling anyone about it because it'd be bad for business noting "Who knows? They might shut us down forever or something!" Perfect.


-Parks are decked for the holidays!

-Yes, even Potterland.

-Spiderman was acting weird again and the whole finale was messed up. As much as I love seeing the falling building reset, that's twice in a row now...And when Spiderman has a 100% track record for working perfect every time for a VERY long time, it's all the more noticeable. Maybe time for that rehab?

-Who says Kamille is a girls' name!?!?!?

OK, that's about it. Now onto the visual culture!

ENJOY! (^ ^ )/
